Ursa Major Consulting created its Housing Resource Guide website. The Resource Guide incorporates a database on apartment complexes, housing resources and programs, and provides videos and webinars as part of a toolkit to help individuals move to independent housing. The site was created using Joomla! and associated components. New housing resources and programs can be submitted for approval by members of the public and administered by the NoVA RIT.

The Guide contains information about public and private organizations that provide housing and housing-related assistance for residents in Northern Virginia, including the Counties of Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun and Prince William, and the Cities of Alexandria, Falls Church, Manassas and Manassas Park. While the guide was produced for the benefit of residents with developmental disabilities, their families and support coordinators, many resources within the guide are available to the broader community based upon income or need.

The contents of the Guide are reviewed and updated by volunteers on a bi-annual basis. However, if you find inaccurate information listed for a program or organization, please contact us so that we can rectify the error as expeditiously as possible. We have provided the ability to submit program / resource information and information on additional housing resources.

This version of the Guide contains about 100 pages of information already and will continue to grow and be updated. There are basically three types of information included:

What People Say

Information Technology Consulting

"A good consulting firm has to have depth of experience in best practices, combined with a thorough understanding of what makes a client's situation unique. Ursa Major Consulting gets top marks in both categories. It is with great pleasure that we recount our experience with this firm.

We needed help with information technology to improve our marketing and to make our internal communications more effective. We had specific objectives in a request for proposals, and in evaluating the responses we decided that Ursa Major Consulting would give the best value for the money. In fact, we got superior service that went way, way beyond our expectations."
